they pick the locations based on how many teams will actually play the event!!! and you also gotta look at the venue size, good grass, parking, hotel, air fair....there is way more to it then you think......its the little things like grass not being green enough that players ***** about after the event is over with and give it a bad review

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA - January 28, 2009 - The US Paintball League's 2009 season will consist of six events. The season opener, the Surf City Open, will take place on the beach in Huntington Beach, CA April 3 - 5, 2009.

The US Paintball League will offer Divisional teams three titles to compete in; a Western Conference title, Eastern Conference title and the National Series title. To win their Conference Title, teams will be able to earn points in three events. To win the National Series, your team can play in any of the six events with your top four scores counting towards the over all title.

Bart Yachimec of Edmonton Impact explained "we wanted to make sure teams who couldn't afford to compete in all of the events still had a chance at earning a championship by only having to travel to one event. Just the same, teams who want to support the circuit by playing in most or all of the events will be rewarded with the opportunity to swap out some of the standings".

US Paintball League Commissioner Chuck Hendsch added that "By introducing Conference play the league is looking to add excitement to the series race and give teams a better chance at winning their conference title, a National title or both."

All six dates of the 2009 US Paintball League are confirmed, with some venues yet to be announced:

Surf City Open April 3 - 5, 2009 Huntington Beach, CA
DC Challenge May 15 - 17, 2009 Washington D.C
Bay City Open June 12 - 14, 2009 San Jose, CA
New England Classic July 31 - August 2, 2009 Boston, MA
West Coast Open August 28 - 30, 2009 Venue to be Announced
World Championships October 2 - 4, 2009 Venue to be Announced

All events count towards the National Series Title. More details surrounding the conferences will be included in the 2009 US Paintball League Rule Book.

awesome.

the world championship will most likely be in the east. so there would be 3 east and 3 west, thus giving each conference and their teams a fair chance to compete. its like regional/national at the same time.

Camille has sent them a letter to retract the statement it is not true. They are waiting for a reply to set the record straight. Don't belive everything you read unless its from a reliable source that signs their name.
